Guest guest Posted March 10, 2001 Report Share Posted March 10, 2001 Ruthann, I know what you mean. I too chickened out the first time and I wished I hadn't, but at the time I had read so many BAD things about the surgery and nothing good, plus I didn't really like the doctor I went to the first time. Now this time I have read so many GOOD things, and I have joined this group witch has helped A LOT, and I have met some of the best people I have ever known and this time I LOVE my doctor. So I too am soooooo ready to have this surgery and break free from this obesity prison!

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2001 Report Share Posted March 10, 2001 Ruthann, I wouldn't change my choice for the world. This honestly is the best decision I've ever chosen for me. I have not gained any weight (THANKFULLY), but stabilizing at times. I get frustrated sometimes, wishing I could hit my goal weight, but for now, I have to be satisfied with what I've lost (and gained throughout this process)...I have gained my self esteem, confidence, attitude (lol), happiness, my husband, my marriage, and my feeling of self discipline, learning and sticking to my new choices in eating, exercise, etc....not to mention the clothes I LOVE searching for!

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2001 Report Share Posted May 18, 2001 > hi kathy > i know izzy has talked about changing it to once a month, but i think that > the post ops are disapointed because they dont feel they get what they need > from it. we have a ossg beth israel support group have u seen it? > Pam I have just in the last day been to that group and put my name on that also. I guess what I am looking at is seeing if there is anything I could go to before my surgery. I work at night so the Thursday night meetings were hard to get to. I do have a night off during the week. Anyone any suggestions?? I think I am getting the jitters because it is coming so fast!! Back in January it felt like it would never come and now it is almost here!!!

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2003 Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 Hello Lenora Welcome to the group. I am sure you will do great!!! It's not bad in the hospital. You will sleep alot. Do you have anyone at home who can help you for a few days? I had two C-sections as well and the surgery for me was worse pain wise but it seems to be very individual and some people (actually seems like the majority) get through without too much pain. Take a pillow in the car for the ride home to hold against your stomach. Try to load up on the things you will be eating and drinking when you get home from the hospital now. You won't feel like going to the store when you get home. Don't bother packing much to take to the hospital. You will never use it. What base (is it station in the Navy?) are you at? My hubby is Air Force and we are at in Southern Illinois. Candi hi hello, i just joined. i am having my surgery on TUESDAY,, i am so happy. I hope to make friends here and learn alot. i am afraid a little. how is it in the hospital and after? i have 2 little girls i need to take care of. my husband is in the navy and is in baghdad for awhile. so i need tips on how to stay well..lol. i just pray everything will go smooth. everyone says i will do fine pain wise. i have had 2 c- sections. any truth to that? well any stories or tips i would love it. thanks nora fill free to add me to YAHOO IM.
